Lenovo has announced the launch of AI server manufacturing in India alongside the inauguration of a new Infrastructure R&D lab in Bengaluru. This development is part of Lenovo’s strategy to enhance its global manufacturing and R&D capabilities, aligning with India’s ‘Made in India’ and ‘AI for All’ initiatives.

The new AI server production line, based at Lenovo’s Puducherry facility, will manufacture up to 50,000 enterprise AI servers and 2,400 high-end GPU units annually. More than 60% of this production will be exported to Asia-Pacific markets, meeting the rising demand for AI infrastructure both domestically and internationally.

“This development marks a significant step toward achieving both Lenovo’s and the Indian government’s ‘AI for All’ vision,” said Amar Babu, President – Asia Pacific, Lenovo. “We remain committed to driving India’s growth as an innovation hub by expanding our global manufacturing footprint and harnessing the strength of Indian talent and the industry ecosystem for technology R&D.”

Lenovo has been operational in India since 2005 and recently achieved milestones such as the Global Shared Support Center and PMA-compliant PCs with locally manufactured motherboards. The new investments in AI server manufacturing and R&D further solidify Lenovo’s commitment to India’s tech ecosystem and economic growth.

The Bengaluru R&D lab will play a crucial role in the development and testing of next-generation server platforms, including hardware, firmware, and software. This facility joins Lenovo’s global network of 18 R&D labs and is one of four dedicated to Infrastructure Solutions.

Lenovo’s increased focus on AI infrastructure and R&D underscores its dedication to advancing technology and innovation in India. The company’s global R&D spend has risen to $2.3 billion for FY23-24, highlighting its commitment to driving technological advancements.
